on romney's defense, i looked at romney for a long time. i call him the energizer bunny of social smiles. because a smile should go high and low and be over in like less than four seconds. often romney holds a smile, it's very fake. tonight, last night rather, he managed to go up at least a little bit. not a high octave but a more genuine, more reflective smile. and more discussed. a lot more variety from him than you typically see. but he does not have that electric smile. >> you're going to have me timing my smiles right now. dan hill facial coding expert, president of sensory logic. that was a lot to digest. >> absolutely. >> zoraida? >> the next debate i want to watch with him so he can point all these things out. much different debate this time around. a sharper tone with a lot more tension. so who won? the results of our cnn poll and more highlights as well coming up. ross ] we are in the dades gorge, high up in the atlas mountains of morocco. have you seen this road we're going down? ♪ there is no relief for the brakes. we'll put t
